I&#8217;ve been working with the print templates a lot lately. A while back I released a multi-photo travel template that turned out to be pretty popular. I went back to it yesterday to work with some portraits, and made a few tweaks since the last time I&#8217;ve used it. Mainly, I went in and modified some of the spacing options and added some templates with a wide space between them and some others with a narrower space. There&#8217;s also a version with a black background and one with a white background.
Some tech specs: It only works in Lightroom 3. It&#8217;s based on a 12&#215;12 inch paper size. There&#8217;s room for 16 photos in it which makes a really nice way to show off a portrait or engagement session.
Here&#8217;s how it works: First download and import the new print template. Look at the directions below and make sure you DON&#8217;T install this in the Develop module like you do the rest of the presets. In the Print module, go to User Presets and select the new template. It&#8217;ll show a blank page and all you have to do is drag your photos from the filmstrip into it.
Here&#8217;s a few samples (Click for a larger version).

Also, here&#8217;s some other samples from the last preset, so you can see what it looks like with different photos as well as with the Photo Border option (in the Print module) turned off and on.

Customize &#8211; you can also customize this one by changing the &#8220;Page Background Color&#8221; option (which is in the &#8220;Page&#8221; panel in the lower right side of the Print module), as well as the Photo Border settings.
These are a little different to install than your usual Develop presets:
1) Click here to download the preset.
2) Unzip the preset zip file on to your desktop
3) Go to the PRINT MODULE (NOTE: THESE ARE NOT DEVELOP PRESETS SO DON&#8217;T INSTALL THEM THERE!)
4) Go to the Template Browser on the left. Right click on the words User Presets and choose &#8220;Import&#8220;.
5) Select the .lrtemplate file you unzipped in Step 1 and click Import (NOTE: DO NOT IMPORT THE ZIP FILE)
